Memorandum for the Secretary of State
SUBJECT: Certification Concerning U.S. Participation in the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti Consistent with Section 2005 of the American Servicemembers' Protection Act

Consistent with section 2005 of the American Servicemembers'
Protection Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-206; 22 U.S.C. 7421 et seq.),
concerning the participation of members of the Armed Forces of the
United States in certain U.N. peacekeeping and peace enforcement
operations, I hereby certify that members of the U.S. Armed Forces
participating in the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti
(MINUSTAH) are without risk of criminal prosecution or other assertion
of jurisdiction by the International Criminal Court because Haiti has
entered into an agreement in accordance with Article 98 of the Rome
Statute preventing the International Criminal Court from proceeding
against members of the Armed Forces of the United States present in
that country.

You are authorized and directed to submit this certification to the
Congress and arrange for its publication in the Federal Register.
